Vitamix Smoothie Recipe: Peach and Spinach

Vitamix Smoothie Recipe Requirements

I require every Vitamix smoothie recipe to have at least one vegetable for each fruit, otherwise there is just too much sugar (though we will occasionally make a fruit-only smoothie as a dessert on a designated dessert day).

I also require every Vitamix smoothie recipe to have some kind of protein component, be it whey protein powder, non-fat yogurt, Shakeology, and even cottage cheese (though I wouldn’t recommend that last one).

Vitamix Review

I want you to forget everything you thought you knew about blenders because you’ve been misled, duped, snowed, tricked into thinking you owned one. What you own would like to be a blender. It may even have the word “blender” on it. It probably has the similar shape, spinning blades, and the noise of a blender… but it’s not… not really. It’s like the difference between someone who plays golf and someone who is a golfer. Your gadget might blend, but it’s not a blender.

Enter the true protagonist, the Vitamix. Here’s what it’s not: Pretty, small, or quiet. Let’s call a spade a spade. This thing was not designed by Apple. It takes two hands to lug around. And it could wake your neighbors. But it’s all worth it. Why? Continue reading Vitamix Review…

Fitness Tip

It’s hard to really visualize a gram of something. But what if you tied it to an image? For instance, we all know what a sugar packet looks like. Each one hold roughly 4 grams of sugar. Now look at the can of Mountain Dew on your desk and you’ll see it has 46 grams of sugar… or nearly 12 packets! Would you really just throw down 12 packets of sugar if they weren’t already in your drink?

Images are powerful. Use them to your advantage to help you be intentional in your eating decisions.

Vitamix. Is it everything they say it is? I'm here to tell you, it's more. This multi-purpose, powerhouse of a machine will not only help get you healthier, you'll be looking for excuses to use it. It's without its flaws, but we wouldn't trade it for 100 pounds of organic kale.
